,This invention relates to eye mountings for dolls of that type whereinmeans is pro vided and secured in fixed'relation to the wall structureof the head for supporting 5 or retaining an oscillatory eye settingwith the spaced eye members thereof accurately related to the eyeopenings in the head wall and which permits of a free non-bindingoscillatory motion of the respective eye memhers in relation to-sa-idwall V 1 In several co-pending patent applications filed by me I havedescribed certain devices of this kind wherein the mounting or retainaing means and the oscillatory eye setting are first associated witheachother and then inserted together through the neck opening of the dollhead and the mounting or retaining means attached or secured in fixedrelation to the head wall with the spaced eye menu- 2 bers of thesetting'in spaced cooperative re lation to the eye openings in saidwall. My present invention is distinguished in its fundamentals fromsuch prior inventions in that the supporting or retaining means is firstapplied and secured in fixed relationto the front wall of the doll headbefore the two halves orsections of the head are permanently joined orconnected with'each other, and the oscillatory eye I setting maybe subsequently inserted through the neck opening of the otherwise closed headand arranged in cooperative assembled rel'ationwith the I supporting or.retaining means and the eye openings in, the head wall withoutnecessitating the use of a tool of any kind or special skill on the partof the'workmenQ Thus, it

becomes possible for the doll manufacturer to. carry the heads equippedwiththe sup porting or retainlng means in stock and apply theoscillatory eye settings thereto as tl'ie demand may requirewithoutseparating the llead'se tions or cutting an opening in the top ofthe head as heretofore practiced in this art. i V

the subjoined claims. 4 o -o a g In the drayvings, wherein I haveillusprovide means projecting the front wall of the doll head and uponwhich the shaft or axis of the oscillatory eyesete ting is adapted to besupported for'movement towards and from the front wall of the doll headtogether with a retaining member having relatively yieldable partspermit ting of the assemblageof theshaft or'axis upon said supportingmeans and preventing possible I displacement of said shaft and. of

the eye setting from its operative relationto said supporting means andthe front wall of thedoll head. v

In one practical embodiment of the invention, Iprefer to provide thefront wall of the doll head; with aninternally 'formed recess adapted toreceive'cooperatively asso ciated supporting and retaining members 7 forthe eye setting, andit is an important feature of my'invention toprovide asimple and easily applied fastening member, common to thesupporting and retainingmembers and whereby the latter may bepermanently secured in fixed relationto eachother.

Itisalso a further general object ofthe invention to provide'an' eyemounting for dolls ofthe above character in which the several parts maybe rapidly produced-in the 7 form of simple'sheet metals'tamping's sothat the device as a wholemay be manufactured at relatively low cost andwill not add materially to. the selling price of such dolls equippedwith oscillatory eye settings, and mounting or supportingin'eanstherefor as heretofore known to", the art.

In the application and use of the present invention, the doll head, inaccordance with the practice 'now' generally followed in the art ismolded or otherwise shaped or fashioned from woodpulp, papier-mach orother composition materialin separate front and rearhalves or sectionsherein designated by the numerals 5 and 6 respectively. These frontandrear sections of the head are subse-* quently permanently joinedtogether along their meeting edges indicated at 7 bytheapplication-thereto of glue or other suitable adhesive. 1 The fronthalf or section 5 of the doll head'is of course, provided in the moldingoperation with" the usual facial features in proper proportio'n'andrelation to; each other and throughthis front wall'of the head thespaced'eye shapcd openings 8 are cut. The inner side oftheheadwallateach of these openings 8 is milled out to provide'the eye memberreceiving sockets or cavities 9. At the outer side of each'ofthesecavities, the opposite sides of the head wallareprovided with thehorizontal grooves 10therein for a ber.

purpose which will hereinafter be explained. The structure of the frontwall of the doll head between the cavities 9 and above the same isrelatively thick, and in this part of the wall structure a suitablyshaped recess is formed. As herein shown, this recess includes acomparatively wide rectangular upper section 11 above the sockets 9, anarrow section 12 extending downwardly from the lower side of thesection 11 between the sockets 9, and a slightly widened lower endsection 13. The base walls or surfaces of all of these recess sectionsare disposed in-a common perpendicular plane as shown in Fig. 2 of thedrawings which is preferably disposed at substantially right angles toacommon horizontal plane intersecting the centers of the eyeopenings 8.

a Before the two halves or sections 5 and6 of the doll head arepermanently connected or joined to each other asupportingmembe'rla isfirst positioned in the recess in the front wall of the doll head. Asshown in Fig. 5' of the drawings, this supporting member consists ofastamped metal plate and includes an upper rectangular section 15 adaptedto snugly fit within the upper section 11 of the recess. A relativelynarrow neck 16 extends downwardly from the lower edge of the part 15 ofsaid supporting member and is adapted to be received in the section 12of the recess in the head wall, said neck adjacent its lower end and atthe oppositeside edges thereof 'being provided with the supporting arms17 projecting from one side of the necklG in parallel'relation to eachother and substantially at right angles tothe plane of said supportingmember. At their extremities, the upper edge of each of these supportingarms is provided with a horizontally extending shoulder or seat 18 andthe end edge of the arm is rounded or upwardly curved to this" shoulderas shown at 19.. The purpose of this construction will also behereinafter explained in detail.

After the supporting member has been arranged in the recess of the headwall, the retaining member shown in Fig.1 6 of the drawings is alsopositioned in said recess and upon the supporting meni- This retainingmember, which is likewise produced in the form of a sheet metal stampingincludes a rectangular part 20 of substantially the same dimensions asthe part 15 of the supporting member. 1-1 resiliently yieldableelongated tongue 21 is integrally connected atone of its ends by theangular part 22 with the part 20 substantially centrally of the latterand is normally positioned in laterally spaced relation to the part-20and parallel therewith. The free end of this yieldable tongue 21 isslightly curved or bent outwardly as indicated at 23. At each side ofthe tongue 21 and normally positioned at sub stantially right anglesthereto, a resiliently yielidable arm 24 is. integrally connected'at oneof its ends with the part 20'. The other end portionv of each of thesearms is bent clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

As will also be-.evident from reference to igs. 3 and 6 of the drawings,when this retaining member is assembled'ln superposed relation upon thesupporting member 14, theextremitiesj of the looped ends 25 of the-arms24, seat upon the shoulders 18'of the arms I? so. that thesaid armsil7and 24 in conjunction w th each other provide normally closed elongatedloops extending inwardly fromthe front wall of the doll head and betweenwhich the vertically positioned relatively yieldable tongue 21 extendsdownwardl-y below the arms 17. I

The supporting member and the retaining member are adapted to be fixedlysecured upon the head wallagainst movement relative to each other bymeans of a common fastening member shown in detail in Fig. 7 of thedrawings. Tl'llS fastening member consists of a stamped resilient sheetmetal plate. 26

of a general rectangular form which is cen-' trally provided with anopening 27. therethrough. Atopposite sides of this opening, the plate isprovided with transverselyex tending concavo-convex sections 28, and theends of the plate at the opposite longitudinal edges thereof areformedwith the impaling spurs29. V l

Thefastening member26 is adapted to be assembled with the retainingmember before the latter is arranged in position; This may be done bysimply displacing thetongue 22 and resilient arms 24 ofthe retainingmember relative to each other'so that the tongue 21' may be passedthrough the opening 27 inthe plate 26 and-said plate moved along saidtongue to a position inparallelrelation to the part 20 of theretainingmember and in contact therewith, the concave sides of thesections 28 of the fastening plate being opposed to the retaininginemberas shown in Fig t of the drawings. By nowapplying pressure against theconvexsides ofthe sections 28 of plate 26, said sections may beflattened out, thus expanding the end's'of the resilient plate inopposite directions and causing the spurs 29 thereon to becomeembeddedorimpaled in the structure of the doll head wan at the op positeends of the upper sectio'nll of the recess therein as shown in Figs8 and9 of the drawings. v i p h After the severalparts of'the mounting orretai'ningmeans forthe eye setting have thus been applied an dsecured tothe frontwall of the dollhead, the two sections 5 and 6 of the doll headare permanently joined or secured to each other so that the head iscompletely throughthe neck thereof.

closed with the exception of the opening Through this opening the,oscillatory eye setting-is adapted to be inserted: and arranged incooperatively supported relation with. respect to. the front wall ofthe'doll head and the eye openings thereln. v

i In the embodiment, of the invention which i l; have selectedforpurposes of illustration,

the oscillatory eye setting includes a shaft or axis: 30-. The eyemembers 31 in theform of hollow. shells which are suitablyprovided withthe representationof eyelids and pupils simulating the human eye,are-provided with suitably formed openings in oppositesides eye jmembersthrough the mediumof a thereof tosnugly receive the shaft 30.Oscillatorymotion is transmitted'to} these spaced stamped sheet metal.plate 32 having apertured lugs 33 extendingwithin the respective eyeshells'and loosely receiving the shaft 30 whereby said plate is looselysuspendedfrom the shaft for freely oscillating motion. Spaced parts ofthis plate'32 are in contact withthe'rear edges of the respectiveeyem'embers 31, and below the eye members said plate is provided with anangularly projectingpart 34. carrying a suitable weight35. To thisweighted lower portion of the plate the upper end of a resilientlyyieldable stop. spring 86 is pivotally connected. The free end of thisstop spring is adapted for "contact with the inner side of the head wallat theneclr thereof toyieldingly limit the oscillatory mo tion of'theeyes to their openpositions.

"The upper portion of the plate 32 of the eye setting islcentrallycutaway or recessed as at of to accommodatethe downwardly extending endof' the tongue 21- of the reta-1 n- 'ing member in the oscillatorymovement of said plate, and at each "side ofthis central slot in theplate 32 theplate is'if-urther cut away or recessed as atg38 toaccommodate the arms 17 of-thesupportingmember; The

edges 39 of the 'plateat the lowerside of these cut outs 38 constitutestop shouldersadaptedfor contact with the looped end'por-' tions 25 ofthearms 24 of the retaining memher to limit the oscillatory movement ofthe eyes-to their closed positions;

In the application of theeye, setting to its operative position withinthe doll head,-

the pivoted 'yieldable stop member 36 is I turned or moved to a'positionin substantiallyparallel relation, with thepart34t'of theplate '32 sothat the eye setting may be readily passed upwardly through the neckopening,

of the dollfhead; "The eye setting is then turned in the 'hand until theshaftor aXis 30 thereof positioned. transversely of. the doll'head andis'locatedby'the sense of touch below the arms 17. 'The shaft is thenmoved inwardly in contact with these "arms and" around the curvedrearends 19 thereof into engagement with theends of the-loops 25'.

By then applying an upward pressure against the shaft,-the extremitiesof these loopsare forced upwardly off of the shoulders or seats 18 andthe arms 24 are sprung upwardly to substantially the position shown indotted lines in Fig. 3 of the drawings, it being also understood ofcourse, that in this. movement of the shaft, thedownwardlyextendingresilient tongue 21 is displaced fromits normalposition to substantially the dotted line position shown in said figure.As the shaft of the eye setting is moved upwardly against the resistanceof the spring arms 24L, it is also moved forwardly and upon the upperedges of the arms 17 beyond theextremities of the loops 25. The eyesetting is then released and the hand withdrawn through the neck openingof the head. The spring arms 24 and the tongue 21 instantly resume theirnormal positions, the loops'25 being closed by the engagement of theextremities thereof on the seats 18 while the tongue 21 bears againstthe rear side of the shaft 30 and yieldingly urges the same forwardly onthe supporting arms 17, thus holding the spaced eye members 31 in closeengagement with the walls of the respective eye sockets 29.

lVhen the doll head is tilted from the perpendicular position at therequired angle so that the center. of gravity of the weighted pendulumplate of the eye setting is positioned inwardly of the center of theshaft 30, said shaft will freely turn or oscillate upon the supportingarmsilf. The weight of the eye setting is thus transmitted to the springtongue 21 and this tongue will yield sufficiently to free the eyemembers from excessive frictional contact with the wall of the sockets9, thus permitting of a non-binding uninterrupted oscillating motion ofthe eye members from their open to their closed positions lVhen the dollhead is returnedto its upright position, the reverse movement of the eyemembers of course,.talies place, and they are again held in closecontact with the walls of the eye sockets. This movement of the eyesetting is cushioned or yieldingly limited by the contact of the freeend of 1 the spring stop 36 with the neck. wall of the doll head, itbeing understood of course that this spring stop has been pivotallymoved relative to the plate of the eye setting to a longitudinallyprojecting position with respect thereto as shownin the drawings.-

1 In Figs. 10 and 1120f the drawings, Ihave illustrated a slightlymodified for'm ofthe invention wherein the supportingmember shown inFig. 5 is dispensed with, and two inwardlyprojectingsupporting lugs 40are integrally formed with the structure of the front wall of the dollhead at opposite sides of the lower end p0rtionf13-of the recessCtherein. These lugs are ofsubstantially the same'form as the supportingarms 17 of the, member illustrated in Fig. 5 and are promesses 6. of thedrawings'is first arranged in. the

upper part of the recess in the head wall'with the rectangular-portion20 engaged upon the basethereof' and with the fastening member or plateshown inFig. 7 engaged upon said part 20 of the retaining member {andan: chored atits ends in the structure of the head wall as aboveexplained. The resilient arms 2 1- of the retainingmember are ofprecisely the same form as heretofore. described and the extremities ofthe looped'fends thereof coact' with the lugs 40in precisely the samemanner as when'this retaining member is used in conjunction with theseparate supporting member illustrated in'Fig. 5. By theelimination ofthe metallic supporting member, the internal recess in the head wallwhich receives the retainingmember and the fastening plate may be ofless depth and the wall thickness can be decreased proportionately. Alsoby reducing the number of essential parts comprising the mounting orretaining means the manufacturing cost of this modified construc tionmay be somewhat less than the construction first described. It will beunderstood that the application or, arrangement of the eye setting incooperative relation with the eye mounting or retaining means isaccomplished in the same manner as above explained, and in the useofeither construct-ion, as the shaft 30 of the eye setting is movedupwardly around the ends of the supporting arms 17 or the lugs tO,theends of the shaft 30 are accommodated in the grooves or recesses 10 inthe opposite sides of the head walls of-said grooves, but the shaft issupported solely or lugs.

7 From the foregoing description considered in connection with theaccompanying draw-- ings, the construction, manner of use or applicationand several. advantages of the described embodiments of the inventionwill be clearly understood. It will be seen that the novel feature ofthe present disclosure consists essentially. in the provision of amounting :orretaining means for the oscillatory eye setting which isapplied or secured in fixed relation to the wall of the doll headindependently of the eye setting during the course of manufacture of thehead, andsaid mounting or retaining means including parts relativelydisplaceable under'presby means of the spaced arms sure by theengagementof a part of the eye relation with the doll head wall and with the eyemembers of said setting properly positioned in said sockets. In. so faras I .am aware, it is new in this art to provide a. de vice of thischaracter wherebythe eye setting may be easily and quickly'aplied inits'operative position by hand through the neck opening of the doll headand without requiring that the top of the head be opened or the use of atool of any kind. FurtheryI believe it to be new in this art to providesuch a mounting or retaining means. for the eye setting wherein therelatively displaceable parts are so co-related or arranged relative toeach other and with respect to the supports upon which thesettingoscillates that'the displacement of the setting from itsoperative position with relation to the head wall, .as when the headissubjected to violent shock or jar'is rendered impossible, while atthesame time, the setting is yieldingly urged forwardly to hold the eyemembers in close association with the walls of the eye setting, and yetobviate such frict onal resistance due tocontact between the eye membersand the socket walls as would tend to retard or im-' pede the freeoscillating motion of the eye members. 7 I have herein illustratedseveral practical structural examples ofgmy- -inven tion whereby thesedesirable results are ob tained. Nevertheless, it is possible thatsimilar results might also be secured'invarious other alternative formsof my invention, and I accordingly reserve the privilege of resorting toall such legitimate changes in the form, construction and relativearrangement of the several partsas may be fairly em bodied within thespirit and scope of the invention as claimed. i I
